Tony Stark had faced weapons malfunctions, hostile board meetings, and the horror of eating his own cooking.
But nothing—absolutely nothing—prepared him for Roy's household of ten impossibly beautiful women.
After breakfast, Tony did what any self-respecting billionaire would do:
He whipped out his phone.
Tony:
"Okay, ladies! Group selfie! Don't be shy—my camera loves you."
Grayfia blinked politely.
Velzard raised an eyebrow.
Velgrynd gave a sharp smirk.
Scáthach looked ready to stab the camera.
Sif crossed her arms.
Amora struck a pose.
Lorelei smiled cutely.
Infinity tilted her head, curious.
Death stared blankly.
Hela simply said, "No."
Tony snapped the picture anyway.
Immediately—
Scáthach:
"You captured my wrong angle, mortal."
Tony choked.
"W-What?! You have angles?! You're literally perfect!"
Velgrynd:
"You shook the camera. Your hands are weak."
Tony looked at Roy.
"ROY. They're bullying me."
Roy:
"You deserve it."
Hela:
"Delete that photo unless you want to die in six creative ways."
Tony deleted it.
Fast.
◆ Pepper Arrives (And Immediately Regrets It)
A car rolled up outside.
Tony froze.
"Uh oh."
Roy raised an eyebrow.
"Pepper?"
"Pepper," Tony confirmed.
Pepper Potts stepped into the villa, holding documents.
Pepper:
"Tony, you missed three meetings and—"
She froze.
Her eyes moved slowly across the room.
One goddess…
Two…
Three…
Four…
Five…
Six…
Seven…
Eight…
Nine…
Ten.
Pepper blinked.
Her soul left her body.
Pepper:
"…Tony."
Tony:
"Pepper, I can explain—"
Pepper:
"—You cannot explain THIS!"
She pointed at the ten women.
Grayfia gave a polite bow.
Sif waved.
Amora smiled too smugly.
Infinity and Death merely existed ominously.
Hela looked ready to claim Pepper's soul.
Pepper stared.
Pepper fainted.
Roy caught her before she hit the ground.
Tony sighed dramatically.
Tony:
"Yep. That's fair."
◆ Beach Day (Chaos Version)
When Pepper woke up, Roy made tea.
Tony apologized.
The girls introduced themselves politely.
Pepper mentally screamed but maintained professional composure.
Eventually she said:
Pepper:
"…Let's go somewhere normal. Fresh air. Maybe the beach."
Tony clapped.
"Yes! Beach day! Great idea!
No disasters! No cosmic stuff! Just relaxation!"
Roy nodded.
The girls nodded.
The universe did not nod.
◆ At the Malibu Beach
Tony flexed.
Roy relaxed in shade.
Pepper applied sunscreen.
The girls?
They unintentionally started a phenomenon.
People on the beach stared.
Whispered.
Took pictures.
Tourists fainted.
Hela threatened three people for staring too long.
Velzard froze the sand (accidentally).
Velgrynd superheated the air (also accidentally).
Scáthach scared surfers away using her killing intent.
Amora enjoyed the attention.
Lorelei made friends with everyone instantly.
Infinity discovered seagulls.
Death stared at the ocean like it owed her money.
Pepper massaged her temples.
Pepper:
"…Roy… is this your… family?"
Roy:
"…Yes."
Pepper took a deep breath.
Pepper:
"I need a vacation."
Tony:
"You are currently ON a vacation."
Pepper:
"No. A vacation from THIS."
◆ Club Night
At sunset, Tony suggested a club.
And because Roy was too nice to say no… they went.
The moment Roy and the ten girls entered—
The music stopped.
The lights dimmed.
The crowd parted like the Red Sea.
Someone whispered:
"Are they filming a movie?"
"No way—this is a cult."
"Is that a cosplay group?!"
"…I think one of them stared into my soul."
Tony smirked.
Tony:
"See? This is a normal outing."
Then Infinity leaned against Roy.
Death held his sleeve.
Velgrynd glared at anyone approaching him.
Velzard made the temperature drop.
Hela intimidated a DJ into fixing the playlist.
Amora flirted with Roy just to annoy the others.
Sif fought Velzard over who sits next to Roy.
Scáthach dragged Roy to dance.
Lorelei made half the club swoon.
Tony watched the chaos unfold.
He took a sip of his drink.
Tony:
"You know what?
I'm starting to think Roy is the most dangerous man alive."
Pepper nodded firmly.
Pepper:
"No.
He's worse."
Roy sat there with a calm expression, surrounded by intense cosmic, draconic, divine, and magical affection.
Roy:
"…This is fine."
It was absolutely not fine.
